‘Force Awakens’ becomes fastest movie to billion
The previous record for reaching the $ 1 billion mark was “Jurrasic World’ doing it in 13 days during the summer of 2015”. It set the record for best Christmas Day box office with .3 million, topping Sherlock Holmes’ .6 million in 2009.
Tom Brady threw for two touchdowns to help the New England Patriots hold onto the top spot in the AFC, beating Tennessee 33-16 on Sunday and knocking Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota out with a knee injury in the first half. Owner Amy Adams Strunk fired former Ken Whisenhunt partly because of his inability to consistently protect Mariota and his decision to keep Mariota in the game after he suffered a sprained left knee October 18. This time the injury is to his right knee; earlier in the season it was his left knee.
NASA Suspends Next Mars Mission
A leak occurred earlier this year that had prevented the seismometer from retaining vacuum conditions. NASA’s Mars missions so far have largely explored the surface geology and properties of Mars.
While no one in the platoon stood out with a huge performance in the game, all three players contributed in ways that indicate that they can be valuable assets to the team in the future. Even though Mariota had a 3-9 record in the 12 games, he kept the Titans in mostly every game. We’re going reevaluate it and see if he can play next week.

Rob Gronkowski caught a 5-yard touchdown pass, and Akiem Hicks fell on the ball in the end zone after Jamie Collins’ strip-sacked Mariota for New England’s other TD. The Titans have a lot of holes to fill before they will be competitive, but have to be thinking about the offensive line with what should be a very high draft pick in 2016.
Cornerback Logan Ryan had a tough time covering Tennessee wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, who caught six passes for 113 yards. He also ran for an additional 252 yards and two touchdowns.
DROP THE PUCK: After the game, the goalposts were taken down and the stadium crew began preparing for the NHL Winter Classic on New Year’s Day, when Boston will play Montreal.
“Certainly if there’s any issues, if we have any concerns as we did (Sunday), we would not play him”, Mularkey said.
The Titans have shut down their rookie quarterback for the year.

“Always good to win”, head coach Bill Belichick said after the game. If they can combine their efforts for around 100 yards on 26 carries in future games, then the effectiveness of the platoon will be quite evident.
